Poland is the 10th largest producer and 4th largest exporter of furniture in the world. The timber industry sells products worth around PLN 45 billion abroad annually, which accounts for 10 per cent of all Polish exports. Podkarpackie is seeing a decline in production in all forest industries. It is therefore necessary to support the creation of new solutions, products, technologies leading to an increase the efficiency of the sector and thus increasing the competitiveness of SMEs also operating in the wood sector.
This OP Funds are concentrated on the key drivers for competitiveness:
- Support for innovation, R&D, technological development, SMEs, e-services, as well as improving energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources;
- Promotion of social inclusion and combating poverty .
The expected results of the OP are among others (more related with FBI4EU):
- Increased R&D spending to GDP by more than 30%;
- Support to almost 2,000 enterprises;
- Increased share of renewable energy in the total energy production;
- Support to more than 17,500 of unemployed;
The thematic scope and logic of intervention of FEP provises its policy objectives in different areas. One of the priority areas addressed by the instrument is: "Competitive and digital economy", that it's the adressed to FBI4EU with the corresponging SO: "SME competitiveness".
Within the framework of this objective, it will be possible to carry out activities increasing the competitiveness of forest-base SMEs.

This roadmap outlines a proactive plan for transitioning Lithuania's industrial sector towards a circular economy. By promoting a green transition, the forest-based industry can explore new markets for clean technologies and products, fostering sustainability and creating economic opportunities. Specifically, the roadmap emphasizes the development and growth of capacities in the organic materials and building industry, with a focus on forest-based construction materials. This roadmap marks a significant milestone as it is the first co-creation initiative in Lithuania. Its primary objective is to collaboratively envision and implement specific actions that will support the industry's competitiveness while adhering to the principles of the circular economy.

The regional program is connected to the National Forest Program. The forest program serves as a platform for dialogue among stakeholders, authorities, and the government in Sweden. All counties collaborate on regional forest strategies and programs to support the national forest program. The strategy for the forest program was adopted in 2018 and encompasses goals for five focus areas, aligning with the program's vision, work, and organization. The vision of the forest program is to harness the potential of the forest, often referred to as the "green gold," to “contribute to jobs and sustainable growth throughout the country as well as to the development of a growing bioeconomy". This vision drives efforts to stimulate job creation, foster innovation, and advance the transition towards a bio-based society within the forestry sector. The strategies implemented under the forest program must consider regional conditions, interests, and needs.

The Planning and Development Strategy – The Road to 2050 serves as a comprehensive and long-term vision for Norddjurs Municipality's development. It undergoes a thorough process of approval, including review by professional committees, the municipal council, and a mandatory public consultation period. There are several formal requirements associated with its preparation. The strategy not only outlines the municipality's vision but also includes an overview of revised municipal plans and addresses all public comments before final adoption. Although stakeholder involvement is not a formal requirement, Norddjurs Municipality actively seeks input from various stakeholders such as the industry, educational institutions specializing in green forest-based education, and other stakeholders related to the forest sector. This collaborative approach aims to unlock the forest's potential for bio-based materials production across the value chain. As per legal requirements, the policy instrument undergoes either complete or partial revision within each political term.
